Week 8 Injury Ward

QB:

Matt Hasselbeck - Hasselbeck suffered a concussion, but it seems like he'll be ready for week 9.  Whether or not he survives the QB-killing Giants defense is a whole different story, however.

Brett Favre - Favre got knocked out of the game with a jaw laceration, but as someone who watched the game, it certainly appeared as though he was concussed.  He'll be back in week 9, but you have to wonder how much good he's doing his team at this point.

Vince Young - Young sprained his ankle in some fashion, but we probably won't have any idea as to how severe it is until week 10 after their bye week.

RB:

Ryan Torain - Torain suffered a hamstring injury, and much like Young above, we won't have any sort of clear picture until after Washington's week 9 bye week.

WR:

Kenny Britt - What a screw job.  After a 40 point performance on many benches last week, we all plug him in and he injures his hamstring before even registering a catch.  Then we come to find out he had hamstring issues all week long.  Regardless, it looks like a multiple week and fairly severe injury, but as is the running theme here, we won't know more until after their bye week.

Percy Harvin - The good news about his injury is that it was suffered early in the game and Harvin was productive throughout, but post-game indications are that it will threaten his availability this week.  Keep a close eye on injury reports.

Donald Driver - He suffered a setback with his quad, and he is out for week 9.  James Jones becomes a quality replacement as he'll take Driver's role.

TE:

Vernon Davis - Another ankle injury, another unknown status until after a week 9 bye.
